Boost your froth pumping levels with the froth pump that has been designed to ensure high efficiency with minimal maintenance. Application areas include: Mineral mining process plants, pulp, paper, sewage and effluent.
Design Background:
When it came to the design of our Froth Pump, the main concern was reducing the froth factor considerably. We achieved this by creating a larger settling area in the tank, through the addition of a spiral and increased the vortex finder size.
- The spiral increases the surface area inside the tank and reduces the travel distance of the escaping air.
- The spiral induces cyclonic flow from the feed pipe to the impeller eye not withstanding the low mass of the froth.
- The spiral also prevents the liquid climbing the tank wall and this energy is diverted in feeding the slurry into the impeller.
Pump Characteristics:
- Built-in vortex breaker in the inlet (suction) boosts efficiency by ensuring that the media reports to the impeller eye.
- Deflector plate housed within the tank prevents the formation of a vortex, swilling and spillage.
- The cantilever design shaft enables the pump to operate without submerged shaft seals, bearings or stuffing box.
- Large capacity tank allows for breaking down of froth.
- Pumps are supplied as free standing integrated units. Simple to install. No foundations or alignment required.
- South African designed and manufactured, resulting in a pump that operates under the most arduous conditions.
- Discharge position can be rotated through 360º.
- Open top design prevents air blocking.
- Pump can run dry for long periods without damage.
